2nd round of midterms: (semi)check


Thank you, God.

2nd set of midterms over.

Sleep now, write paper later.

O, and I found soy chocolate mouse in Dia today!*&@$ Definitely breaks the whole "no sugar or chocolate" thing as prescribed by my doctor....however, after finishing my exams today, I felt a reward was well deserved.

Also I recently discovered I can bake gluten-free/vegan cornbread using about the only 4 ingredients i have... (corn meal, quinoa flour, baking soda, a little salt, and water). I'm in heaven! Something bready and delicious! Not as good as mom's but still good!

I made my favorite carrot potato soup with fresh spinach to go along with it. A perfect fall meal!

This next week's recipe: Roast chicken, vegan mashed potatoes, with roasted carrots, onions and tomatoes. I also recently discovered how to make homemade hummus without tahini or a blender. Cooking...who needs all these fancy ingredients and gadgets anyways?! I think it's a consumer hoax to make us buy more....

Tomorrow I'm going to the airport. To pick up a package that my mom sent, now stuck in customs. I've also been informed that the place is so obscure to get to that'll have to take a cab, and then I have to pay taxes on it to retrieve it. Goodbye hard earned euros. You felt so nice in my pocket for a few hours...

Un Repasito

"Taco night", or the night I stained stainless steal with black beans. Yes, it is quite a feat.
so THAT is what I'm supposed to do with the bidet.... I think all the other europeans have been confused.
I live in an interior apartment. This means my windows face brick walls of the cube removed from the center of my bidding. For those of you who didn't believe in interior apartments, here is hard proof!

As close to "Halloween" as we could get....A quickly carved pumpkin and some chuches (spanish sweets/gummies)
